The two thousand-li-long black and white True Dragons circling the Ninth-Rank Divine Pill soared into the sky, protecting it as they collided with the destructive Heavenly Thunders, exploding with earth-shaking booms.
Amidst it all, the Ninth-Rank Divine Pill remained unscathed, as did the two black and white True Dragons.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Truly, the tribulation of a Ninth-Rank Divine Pill was extraordinarily terrifying.
Countless fearsome Heavenly Thunders continuously descended, tearing through the firmament, shattering heaven and earth, relentlessly striking at this single Ninth-Rank Divine Pill.
A boundless, rolling tide of destructive divine might swept forth, continuously shaking the entire Myriad Saints City.
The black and white True Dragons beside the Ninth-Rank Divine Pill repeatedly soared to resist, their roars echoing with terrifying power. They never shattered, as if they were genuine pure-blooded True Dragons.
However, after a prolonged period, the two black and white True Dragons gradually grew more insubstantial.
After all, they were not true living beings, merely a self-protection mechanism manifested by the Ninth-Rank Divine Pill.
Half an hour later, under the bombardment of countless Heavenly Thunders, the two black and white True Dragons finally could endure no longer. With a mournful shriek, they completely collapsed and scattered into the heavens and earth.
Now, only that black-and-white Ninth-Rank Divine Pill remained.
Yet, as the Ninth-Rank Divine Pill soared upward, ten thousand-li-long True Dragons appeared at this moment—far more than before.
The world marveled. This Ninth-Rank Divine Pill was indeed extraordinary, so incredibly powerful. Previously, it had only manifested two True Dragons, yet now ten had appeared at once.
Only Ye Chen knew this originated from the ten Imperial Dao Dragon Auras within him. One could imagine just how extraordinary this Ninth-Rank Divine Pill was.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The vast Heavenly Thunders continued to rain down, relentlessly bombarding the Ninth-Rank Divine Pill. The ten True Dragons also continuously protected it, never shattering.
As the ten True Dragons endured countless Heavenly Thunder strikes, the world suddenly noticed with shock that the Ninth-Rank Divine Pill, at this very moment, was faintly transforming into a human figure, sitting cross-legged in the sky.
While the ten True Dragons shattered the sky-filling thunderbolts, the human figure was also devouring the power of the shattered thunders, transforming it into countless specks of dawn-like light for absorption.
This scene resembled not a pill at all, but more like a living being consciously cultivating.
"A Ninth-Rank Divine Pill is actually this heaven-defying, capable of self-cultivation."
"It is said that Eighth-Rank Treasure Pills can develop a certain level of sentience. The sentience born from a Ninth-Rank Divine Pill is even stronger, already understanding cultivation. Truly extraordinary."
"If a Ninth-Rank Divine Pill is already this heaven-defying, one can only imagine how world-shaking a Tenth-Rank Emperor Pill, or the legendary Heaven-Defying Emperor Pill that only the Alchemy Emperor can refine, would be."
The world was filled with awe, their thoughts racing.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Under the bombardment of countless terrifying Heavenly Thunders, the ten Imperial Dao Dragon Auras could not endure for long. Finally, after less than half an hour, they too gradually grew insubstantial and shattered, ceasing to exist.
But at this moment, the illusory human figure manifested by the Ninth-Rank Divine Pill, having absorbed countless thunder essences, solidified considerably. It stood tall, its posture peerless, with black hair cascading down. It appeared supremely immortal, like an invincible Supreme Genius, faintly emanating ancient Chaos Qi, resembling a person extremely closely.
The Battle Saint King!
That's right. The human form manifested by the Ninth-Rank Divine Pill in the sky was almost identical to Ye Chen.
Ye Chen understood in his heart. The Ninth-Rank Divine Pill was refined by him, incorporating the Dragon Origin from his body, the ten Imperial Dao Dragon Auras, and his own Chaos essence blood. Naturally, it possessed his aura.
The human figure manifested by the Ninth-Rank Divine Pill could only be him.
The Ninth-Rank Divine Pill was extraordinary. Brilliant black and white light erupted around it, transforming into a black-and-white Taiji Diagram that encircled its form, impervious to all techniques. It then enveloped itself, making it difficult for the layers of Heavenly Thunders to harm it.
Moreover, the Ninth-Rank Divine Pill continuously struck out, shattering the sky-filling thunderbolts, transforming them into the purest thunder power for absorption and refinement. Its aura grew increasingly powerful, surpassing even that of a Super Great Power.
"So strong!"
"Truly worthy of a Ninth-Rank Divine Pill. Upon birth, it possesses such high-level sentience, knows to absorb Heavenly Thunder power to strengthen itself. Could it rival an Old Antique?"
"Imperial Sons and Daughters, and Immortal Dao descendants might all be inferior to such a Ninth-Rank Divine Pill."
Everyone was astonished. Such a Ninth-Rank Divine Pill was heaven-defying and extraordinary, capable of cultivation. Perhaps it even had a chance to break free from the shackles of being a pill and become a true living being.
"No, right now, the Ninth-Rank Divine Pill intends to break those shackles, transcend fate, and become a genuine living being."
Soon, the world understood. The current actions of the Ninth-Rank Divine Pill were precisely aimed at breaking its shackles to become a true living being.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
As time passed, the pill tribulation thunders grew even more numerous, often hundreds or thousands striking down together.
Each one contained power that would make even a Great Power slightly pale. With so many pill tribulation thunders striking down, even a Super Great Power would be utterly annihilated.
Yet the Ninth-Rank Divine Pill was too extraordinary. It originally belonged to the peak of the Eighth Rank—a Dragon God Pill. Furthermore, it had received the sacrificial offering of the flesh, blood, essence, and soul fragments of so many extraordinary Great Powers, Super Great Powers, and even Old Antiques, fused with Ye Chen's Chaos Dragon Origin and ten Imperial Dao Dragon Auras.
All this had long caused the Dragon God Pill to undergo an unprecedented transformation, even surpassing some low-level Ninth-Rank Divine Pills in extraordinariness.
Such a Ninth-Rank Divine Pill contained inconceivable power and possessed sufficiently vast and majestic energy. Even an Old Antique might be unable to do anything about it.
Moreover, along with its powerful sentience, which was nurtured from the moment the Divine Pill was born.
This level of sentience could be said to be no weaker than that of an ordinary living being.
At this moment, the Ninth-Rank Divine Pill did not retreat. It strove to undergo the tribulation. After each bout of Heavenly Thunders, the spiritual light flickering upon its body would grow stronger by a fraction, representing an increase in sentience.
When this sentience grew powerful to a certain degree, quantitative change would inevitably lead to qualitative change.
And at that time, the Ninth-Rank Divine Pill would also become a true living being, possessing its own complete, independent consciousness.
Undoubtedly, this was extremely difficult. The heavens seemed to sense the Ninth-Rank Divine Pill's will to become a true living being—an act of defying heaven, which the heavens would not permit.
Boom!
From the boundless tribulation clouds, the descending Heavenly Thunders now carried the destructive power of various Great Daos. Human-shaped thunders appeared, vast heavenly palaces emerged, and scenes from the distant Warring Ancient Era manifested...
It was magnificent, shaking the mortal world.
This seemed not like a pill undergoing tribulation, but more like a peerless supreme powerhouse facing its heavenly trial.
The majestic, terrifying scenes of the heavenly tribulation were unimaginably fearsome, trembling the myriad heavens. Even the Divine King-level figures battling in the distance were startled, turning their attention here.
